Cranial flap fixation with bioresorbable bone adhesive study
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new, dissolvable bone glue to fix bone flaps back in place after skull surgery. It may help people who need a planned skull procedure (craniotomy) in the upper part of the head.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are scheduled for a planned skull surgery in the upper part of your head (not through the nose, ear, or sinus).
- Your surgery involves a clean, uninfected wound.
- You have not had open brain surgery in the same spot before (a small biopsy is okay).
- You have not had radiation therapy to the surgical area, and no full-course radiation is planned right after surgery.

This trial tests a new bone glue that may hold a piece of skull in place after brain surgery, compared to the traditional metal screws and plates. It might offer a simpler and potentially safer way to reattach the bone.
This study is testing a patch called Tutopatch used during craniotomy, a surgery that opens part of the skull. The goal is to gather more information about how well it works after it is already approved for use.
This trial tests a special 3D bone graft material to repair skull defects after brain surgery. It may help people who need a strong, custom-fit implant to protect their brain.
This study tracks how well a special patch called SYNTHECEL works when used to repair the protective lining of the brain during surgery. It helps researchers learn more about the patch's safety and effectiveness in real-world use.
This trial tests a special bone paste (called Montage Flowable) that doctors use to hold the bone flap in place after brain surgery. It may help the bone heal better and reduce the need for metal plates or screws.
This trial compares two materials used to repair a missing or damaged part of the skull after surgery or injury. It aims to find which approach works better for people who need this type of reconstruction.
